I also want to bring up another point - visitors. Ever have friends visit you from other parts of the cities, other cities, other provinces, other countries even? Where are they going to park when they visit you? My apartment was recently renovated and they took the visitor parking from like 9 spots down to 5 - and one guy parks his boat there and won that legal battle so now it's down to 4 - so now it's russian roulette when someone comes to visit whether they are going to be able to park somewhere. Where do they park in that case?

You need parking spots because people drive cars - it's just that simple - you will never have a city where nobody drives period. People say "ohh you can take public transport" - unfortunately with the waits a 3 min car ride can take up to an hour with public transportation. So many times people without cars take a cab because trying to get to where they want to go requires too much stringing together of public transportation systems, which is made even more doubly inconvenient in the wintertime.
